Holder for tees

Abstract

The holder has one or two strips which are attached to its outer wall and which are formed into loops for receipt of tees. When the tees are so received, their heads are above the upper edge of the strips but below the upper edge of the holder. According to one embodiment of the holder, the pointed lower ends of the tees are within but do not protrude from beneath the strips. According to a second embodiment, the pointed lower ends are accommodated in a pocket and according to a third embodiment the pointed ends are above the lower edge of the holder and the holder is formed of sufficiently pliable material that it yields to the golfer's movements but is strong enough to resist penetration by the pointed ends.

1 . A holder for golfing accessories including tees and adapted to be attached to a belt, said holder comprising: a panel having oppositely facing inner and outer walls and upper and lower edges, said panel having a pair of vertically extending slits through which a belt may be pulled in order to attach the panel to the belt; and a pair of upper and lower horizontally extending strips attached to said outer wall and being formed into a plurality of loops each defining an opening, each of which in said upper strip being spaced vertically above an opening in said lower strip in order to accommodate a tee and being large enough to receive the shank of said tee but not its head, said strips being spaced apart such that when a tee is accommodated therein, its head is above an upper edge of said upper strip but below the upper edge of said panel and its pointed lower end is within but does not protrude from beneath the lower edges of said lower strip and said panel.  
     
     
         2 . A holder for golfing accessories including tees and adapted to be attached to a belt, said holder comprising: a panel having oppositely facing inner and outer walls and a pair of vertically extending slits through which a belt may be pulled in order to attach the panel to the belt; and a horizontally extending strip having upper and lower edges and attached to said outer wall and being formed into a plurality of loops each defining an opening which is arranged and constructed to accommodate a tee and being large enough to receive the shank of said tee but not its head, said strip being of sufficient length that when a tee is accommodated therein, its head is above said upper edge and its pointed lower end is within and does not protrude from beneath said lower edges of said strip and said panel.
